A WORLD FIRST! Perry breathes on his own for the first time in 14 years!

Visit the link above to read about Perry Cross, a C-2 quadriplegic who is breathing on his own for the first time in 14 years. Click on the video clip and watch Perry breathe! Perry is my hero. If he can breathe, then we can ALL be inspired to believe that we will show improvement ourselves. If he can do it, we can too!

It’s fabulous that Wise is finally “wising up” to Dr. Shroff and her successes with over 500 patients. I witnessed Perry breathe on his own for more than 12 hours. No longer can the Wise Young’s of this world turn a blind eye to what is taking place in India. I am living proof…and Perry Cross is living proof that human embryonic stem cells work divinely to bring the breath of life into our bodies, which nobody can dispute.

Hi, Thankyou for your perspective on Geetas work, I have no doubt that Human Embryonic Stem Cells will be the answer for future therapies. And I’m sure nobody would dispute Geetas claims if she actually provided verifiable evidence. Scientific papers submitted to journals. Peer reviewed documentation. Thorough evidence that stood up to rigorous testing. Why should people with SCI (or anything else) accept anything less than this?
Is the situation so, that word of mouth and testimonials are all it takes to make people fly to India and risk their lives with unproven injections? She seems lovely and the testimonials are convincing, but I don’t think we should let go of the science which serves us so well in every other aspect of our medicine – The FDA have placed a hold on an application for the most promising clinical trials yet – this is where our focus and efforts should be if we want to see a truly spectacular advance in stem cell therapy. Not in unconventional, unproven, unforgiving injections in a country where their own establishment rejects their claims. Her patent is not evidence, it is merely a collection of claims, supported by short stories. I’ll take evidence over faith any day where the critical health of people I love is concerned.

My History, My Story

On February 27, 1992 at the age of 24 I sustained a complete spinal cord injury at T11/12 (that is, no feeling or sensation at thoracic vertebra 11 & 12). I am able to recall the accident vividly in my mind's eye to this very day. I was downhill skiing. Everything happened in slow motion. A freak somersault and in a split second I shattered four vertebrae. It was as though somebody turned off a light switch. An electric current zapped through my legs and in an instant there was nothing.

15 1/2 Years with No Changes…

I have always been an active woman. For 15 1/2 years I sort out various alternative healing therapies yet I showed no improvement. Early on I tried standing tall in leg braces, but my efforts proved fruitless, plus I had a couple of horrible falls. Sitting simply became more functional. In August 2000 I was the recipient of the Vocare Bladder Implant, which helped me void my bladder using electrical stimulation. For 15 1/2 years I kept my legs supple and alive with various alternative healing therapies, yet I showed no improvement. I was paralyzed with no sensation or movement from the top of my pubic bone down. While I arrived at a place of acceptance with my paralysis, I have always had an uncanny insight that one magical day my legs would support me. Secretly, I never gave up hope.

HOPE Restored!

While my spinal cord injury took away my ability to walk, it didn't take away my ability to dream. TODAY I am turning my dream into my reality one baby step at a time.
On June 25, 2007 I was the first US Citizen to undergo Human Embryonic Stem Cell (hESC) Therapy with Dr. Geeta Shroff in Delhi, India.
During my initial two month visit, I not only witnessed astounding improvements in my own body, but with many patients who have life restored within their bodies and a newfound reason to not give up but LIVE!

New Sensations, New Muscle Power–I Am Defying the Odds!

I am compelled to share my experiences with the world. Since my first stem cell treatment in 2007, and after 15 1/2 years of being in a wheelchair I now have increased sensation with light touch and with deep sensation tingling all the way to my toes; my bladder and bowels are beginning to function again; and I have increased muscle power in my legs including gluteal muscles, quadriceps, hamstrings, adductors and abductors, and a flicker in my calf muscles too. Hope is now a part of my vocabulary!
